The Governor's Offense

Alpha Chester's POV

I sat at the head of the table as I listened to my Parliament lament about Governor McWrine. He was one of those dirty humans who were aware of my world and were strictly under watch. My pack, Chesterfield Pack was always the leader and head of the Parliament of Wolves. We had connections, power, and authority and instilled fear in both wolves and the humans who knew us.

Years ago, a human politician needed help to eliminate a rival who was becoming too powerful and popular among the people. The only way he would win the election was if his opponent was gone. So a mutual friend per se, brought him to us to help. We did the job no other assassin could do and took down that opponent.

All that politician had to do was give us access to the city's prison and we brought out whomever we wanted or put in whoever we see fit. For years, we and this politician had continued to do business. He was not permitted to tell anyone that we existed or disclose our identities. And he was to do everything we asked him to, while we also protected him and made sure his enemies were taken care of.

But now... After helping him become Governor of the state, McWrine was beginning to mess up. And according to our deal, whoever messed up was cleared off.

“We'll pay him a visit,” I finally spoke up after my Parliament finished complaining about how he was refusing them access to the state's weaponry.

“This time, I'll go with the men because it is I whom he's fooled above all,” I growled and got on my feet. The other men also stood and nodded their agreement. I then stomped off and let them gather the men that would accompany me to Governor McWrine's estate. By the time we would be leaving, he would be dead.

We had simply walked into the official government house because I was a known associate of the Governor who was never denied access to him. Everyone else thought I was just a billionaire associate of his, not knowing I was his master. He was afraid of me and listened to my commands like a servant. But now that my servant had decided to break our sweet bond, why don't I just take care of him forever? He went against the rules, now he would face the wrath of the rules.

However, to my dismay, Governor McWrine was nowhere to be found in his official house. We searched everywhere and noticed that he had been there a few moments before but had fled secretly and not even through the front door.

“Search everywhere! Now,” I commanded my men and they spread out. It was then that the human guards became suspicious of our intent. The head guard approached me respectfully to ask what was going on.

“Stay down and tell your guards to stay down. We are simply looking for him. You don't want problems, stay down,” I ordered him furiously. He glared at me and then looked to his guards.

“Seize them!” He commanded them. They waged towards us and I smirked. Aww, little humans want to fight.

But I wasn't here for them. Killing them all would complicate things and ruin my fake reputation.

“Relax, men,” I said in a calm voice and willed the humans to halt using my powers.

“We simply are helping the Governor who needs our help. It's exclusive information which is why we cannot share. However, we're leaving now. And would be back again.” With this, I turned around and mindlinked all my men to retreat. Obviously, Governor McWrine was not in this building or its environs. Which meant I would have to check every other place I knew he could be. He couldn't hide from me. And he knew that.

Before we even fully left the estate, I got Intel that he had just secretly arrived at his secluded mansion. Governor McWrine had kept the details of that mansion from us, saying it was not important and was just a hangout spot of his. He hardly even went there which explained why he was trying to hide there tonight. Thinking I would not search there. That was even the first place on my mind.

I had always been suspicious of that mansion. There was something that always drew me there. Oftentimes, I had found myself standing in front of it and just staring as if whatever was in there would come out to me.

Governor McWrine was hiding something else in there. And somehow, I felt it would be the gravest offence he had ever committed to me.

My men and I raced to the mansion and found a small, black car standing in front. It reeked of a sweaty Governor McWrine and I knew I had gotten hold of him.

Stealthily, we advanced into the house. The door was open, but the entire building was dark. We did not turn on the lights because we were using our night vision. Plus, we didn't want to alarm anyone. It was already 8 pm.

I traced the governor's smell until we reached a hidden door. It was a pure metallic floor-to-ceiling door, the type found in high-security buildings. Something was behind that door. Something that belonged to me. What was Governor McWrine hiding from me? What had he stolen from me?

“Bring down this door,” I commanded my men. Sure, the door was dangerously strong. But nothing a few werewolf hands couldn't destroy. I didn't want to use my energy, though only I could bring it down alone. But I was reserving myself for whatever was behind that door. Because whatever was there was mine.
